See for yourself; there are good descriptions at wikipedia of both the Google Filesystem and RedHat's Global Filesystem ; in general, the biggest difference looks to be that GoogleFS is a file-object level FS and Redhat's GFS is block-level. As with most comparisons, it depends a lot on what you're looking to do.
There's more differences than commonalities in these two. The single largest difference (IMO) is that GoogleFS is distributed, something more like Ceph than GFS.
